Tyre Size for Spare
Hi again,
I couldn't find a 'tyre' category to post this in, so I have come back here!
I am struggling to find a spare wheel for my truck (over in the UK) at a reasonable price. I don't want to buy something brand new at silly money.
I managed to get a steel wheel from a modern car with a matching PCD 5x5.5, which fits on ok.
Now I am trying to find a suitable tyre for it.
The truck is fitted with 235/75R15
The new wheel came new with 205/70R15
I (incorrectly) assumed that 205/75R15 would come out at the same diameter as 235/75R15.
But I was wrong.
Now I can't seem to find a 205 tyre size which has the same diameter as the truck ones.
And am I stressing over nothing, I don't want the rear wheels turning at different speeds through the diff?
I have now confused myself with all the sizes, and arrived here for help!
